- Immersive ARGB lighting with ready-to-run cooling: The Ceres 330 TG ARGB Mid Tower Chassis comes with two CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans in white pre-installed at the front and one CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fan in white at the rear. This triad of ARGB fans provides vibrant, synchronized lighting right out of the box, enabling you to craft a dynamic color display that matches your build’s theme. The ARGB ecosystem supports color control through compatible motherboards, allowing you to synchronize lighting effects with other ARGB components for a cohesive look—from subtle pulsating hues to high-energy wave patterns.
- ASUS and MSI Hidden-Connector motherboard support: The Ceres 330 TG ARGB is designed to work seamlessly with ASUS and MSI Hidden-Connector motherboards. This feature helps simplify cable routing and minimizes clutter behind the motherboard tray, making it easier to achieve a clean, professional build. With Hidden-Connector support, you can retain your preferred motherboard features and lighting controls without fighting a maze of cables, ultimately enhancing airflow and aesthetics inside the chassis.
- High-airflow design with extensive perforation: More than 55% of its panels are perforated, prioritizing airflow to keep CPU, GPU, and other components cooler during demanding workloads and long gaming sessions. The perforated design works in concert with the included CT140 fans to optimize intake and exhaust, promoting steady temperatures and maintaining performance under load. In addition, the chassis construction emphasizes rigidity and ease of installation, so you can outfit the system with additional fans or radiators as your cooling needs evolve.
- ATX mid-tower versatility for complex builds: As an ATX mid-tower chassis, the Ceres 330 TG ARGB is built to accommodate standard ATX motherboards and a range of expansion options. The interior layout is designed to balance space and accessibility, providing ample clearance for graphics cards, cooling solutions, and storage devices. With its thoughtful interior geometry, you can plan drives, PCIe components, and cable routing to maximize airflow while keeping the build tidy and accessible for maintenance or upgrades.
- Distinctive Thermaltake styling and white fan aesthetic: The white CT140 ARGB fans not only enhance performance and lighting but also contribute to a clean, cohesive aesthetic for builds that favor a bright, modern look. The combination of ARGB lighting and a sophisticated white-fan motif helps your system stand out in photos, streams, and videos, while maintaining a practical chassis that respects your footprint and budget. This design emphasis makes the Ceres 330 TG ARGB a compelling choice for gamers, content creators, and professionals who value both form and function.

How to install Thermaltake Ceres 330 TG ARGB Mid Tower Chassis
- Prepare your workspace and gather your components. Ensure you have the correct screws, standoffs, and mounting brackets for your motherboard form factor, graphics card, and storage devices.
- Remove the side panels to access the interior. This simplifies motherboard installation, PSU placement, and cable management, giving you clear space to position components.
- Install the I/O shield and mount the ATX motherboard into the chassis. Align the screw holes and secure the motherboard with the appropriate standoffs, ensuring there is no contact with the metal frame to prevent short circuits.
- Install the power supply and route cables behind the motherboard tray. Use the chassis’s cable management features to keep cables tidy and minimize obstruction to airflow. Since the case supports ASUS and MSI Hidden-Connector boards, those cables may route through designated channels to maintain a clean interior surface.
- Position and secure storage drives and any additional expansion cards. With the perforated panels promoting airflow, you can plan fan placement and radiator options to optimize cooling for your specific components. The included CT140 ARGB fans are already installed, but you can add additional fans or radiators if your build demands extra cooling.
- Connect the ARGB headers and controller (if applicable) and test the lighting effects. Power on the system and confirm that the ARGB lighting and fan speeds respond to your motherboard’s software. Adjust brightness, color, and effects to your preference for a synchronized, immersive look.
- Finally, replace the side panels, manage any remaining cables, and perform a quick airflow check. Ensure that all fans rotate freely without obstruction and that cables are secured to avoid interference with cooling fans or expansion cards.
